Managing and understanding colour from the design stage to the finished product can be a difficult activity, colour perception is subjective and can therefore be inconsistent.
This course provides a basic yet, comprehensive knowledge on many aspects of colour awareness, assessment and measurement. The course includes lectures, interactive sessions and practical exercises.
It will prove invaluable if you are involved with colour assessment, colour quality monitoring and evaluation, whether your role is in designing, merchandising, product development or quality control.
